At the Commission, the newly selected professional accounting fellows will work with the Chief Accountant and be involved in the study and development of rule proposals under the federal securities laws, liaison with the professional accounting and auditing standards-setting bodies, and consultation with registrants on accounting and reporting matters.

"I look forward to working with each of these four highly motivated individuals as the SEC staff tackles the many challenging issues that lie ahead," said Jackson M. Day, Acting Chief Accountant.
